One in 10 men in some parts of Asia and the Pacific region admit to having raped a woman who wasn't his partner, and a quarter of the men in those places say they have raped wives or girlfriends, according to one of the first large-scale studies of male sexual violence against women.

The studies, which were published in the British medical journal The Lancet and conducted by the World Health Organizaton, the United Nations Population Fund and others on behalf of the United Nations, involved interviews of more than 10,000 men in six countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

The scientists found that, on average, between 6 to 8 percent of men raped a woman who wasn't their partner, and between 30 and 57 percent of wives or girlfriends were subjected to some form of abuse.

Men between the ages of 18 and 49 in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Sri Lanka were interviewed from January 2011 to December 2012. The interviewers, who were also male, made sure not to use the word rape in their interviews, instead describing situations constituting forced sex and asking whether the men had ever participated in such scenarios.

The prevalence of non-partner rape varied according to location, ranging anywhere from 2.5 percent of men in rural Bangladesh to 26.6 percent on the island of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea, with the overall average at around 10 percent in many places studied in the survey.

Rapes involving multiple rapists occurred among anywhere from 1.5 percent of men in the city of Jayapura, Indonesia, to 14.1 percent of men in Bougainville.

The rate was higher in Cambodia, Jayapura and Papua New Guinea, with 5 percent, 7 percent and 14 percent of men committing gang rape in those locations, respectively. Cambodia was the only place where gang rape was more common than rape by a single man.

And rape of wives or girlfriends happened much more frequently than non-partner rape did, except in Papua New Guinea.

The researchers say that rape happens much more frequently than anyone can imagine. "The problem is shocking but anyplace we have looked, we see partner violence, victimization and sexual violence," Michele Decker, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, who co-wrote an accompanying commentary, told the Associated Press. "Rape doesn't just involve someone with a gun to a woman's head," she said. "People tend to think of rape as something someone else would do."

The most frequent reasons men gave the researchers for committing rape were so-called “sexual entitlement” in 73.3 percent of cases, because they were seeking “entertainment” in 58.7 percent of cases, and to punish the victim, in 37.9 percent of the cases.

Because nearly 60 percent of the men who had raped someone committed their first rape when they were teenagers, the authors stressed that "interventions must focus on childhood and adolescence, and address culturally rooted male gender socialization and power relations, abuse in childhood and poverty."

Indeed, the authors say that the most important determinant in whether a man commits rape is whether he has experienced childhood abuse, particularly sexual abuse. Other strong factors are poverty, alcohol and substance abuse, culturally-ingrained sexist attitudes, low levels of empathy and participation in gang-related activity.

The World Health Organization has said that one in every three women in the world experiences some form of gender-based violence. And while the problem of rape has received increased attention following the fatal gang rape of a young woman in New Delhi in 2012, researchers have remained largely in the dark when it comes to multi-country, peer-reviewed studies looking at why or how often rape happens, with the exception of South Africa, where population-based studies have shown that up to 37 percent of South African men have raped a woman.

The scientists who conducted Tuesday's United Nations studies wrote that in many of the countries surveyed, gender inequities "effectively create a culture in which male perpetration of gender-based violence is tolerated at best and expected at worst."

Exterminating men would eliminate a huge part of human culture. Of course to leftists, "diversity" doesn't count when its someone they don't like.

i hate diversity, i think people should be grown in identical pods and have serial numbers rather than names. names are largely a relic of religious superstition. the new soviet man will be foremost a part of society rather than an individual.

why would we exterminate men. i mean if we were going to exterminate a sex it would be a lot less disruptive in the short term to exterminate women, inasmuch as men occupy virtually all the socially necessary labor.

A man was recently arrested in China after he claimed that he could get rid of ghosts from a young woman's vagina with his penis. The paranormal enthusiast allegedly charged over $3000 to perform the sexorcism the Huffington Post reported today.

Huang Jianjun was arrested in the Guangdong Province earlier this month after he convinced A Xin that he could remove evil spirits from her vagina by having sexual intercourse. After the bizarre incident, Xin called police the following day and Jianjun was promptly arrested.

"The victim allegedly came to the self-described "ghost hunter" because she needed help seducing her boss who she had a crush on. That's when Jianjun allegedly pitched the unorthodox exorcism idea," according to a report in the Global Times.

Xin, an employee of a spice shop was so infatuated with her boss that she sought Jianjun for help because she wanted her employer to be with her. According to Xin, she claimed that Jianjun could help the two fall in love by giving her an exorcism.

The pair allegedly met in a hotel room so that Jianjun could perform the exorcism. While in the room he had Xin strip nude so that he could examine her naked body. Jianjun then convinced Xin that he needed to have sex with her and that it was the only way to get rid of the evil spirits. Jianjun claimed that his penis would banish the ghosts that were preventing Xin and her boss from falling in love.

Jianjun insists that he never had sex with the Xin and that he can't get an erection due to diabetes. He is currently in jail awaiting trial in Guangzhou.

my hypothesis (more 100% undeniable truth than hypothesis really) as an actual biologist is that human mitochondrial dna haplogroup k contributes to exploitative social and economic behavior in humans and that it should be eliminated from the human gene pool through removal of the haplotypes in the eggs of affected women.

yeah gee i wonder why european jews' genetics have been studied so much, probably because jews are wretched self-obsessed creatures and not because the holocaust was the ultimate eugenics campaign targeted against that specific group of people

actually the reason is between the various genetic diseases affecting the children of ashkenazi jewish children due to inbreeding (bottleneck occurred before the holocaust im sure) like tay sachs, etc. and the fact that ashkenazi jews are extremely overrepresented in biological / medical science.

a problem with an obvious solution that i need not repeat yet again



since women can, and do, rape other women, if your goal is the complete eradication of female rape, the most efficient and in fact ONLY possible solution is actually the elimination of all females, not all males

wiping out half of all people is actually a very laudable goal, but it should be carried out at random, rather than based on gender

roseweird, do you think advocating (even in the purely hypothetical/semi-serious sense) the elimination/replacement/whatever of the male sex/gender is purely an intellectual ideal for you or could there be some personal motivation as well? this is probably super insulting but w/e

it seems like an odd intellectual conclusion to reach on its own and im not sure what you really hope to gain from it. even assuming that a "eugenics-type" solution is ethical/plausible, wouldnt it be more reasonable to engineer out the putative "bad parts" of the male psyche?
